A candle is a dyable block that emits light when lit with a flint and steel. Up to four of the same color of candle can be placed in one block space, which affects the amount of light produced.

Dyed candles are the dyed variants of candles that come in all sixteen colors, that once dyed, cannot be changed into a different color.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Light

[edit | edit source]
πŸ‘ Image

All candles can be used as a light source, emitting light like a sea pickle. A single candle emits a light level of 3. Up to four identically colored candles may be placed in one block, with each candle increasing the emitted light level by 3, for a maximum light level of 12. They also emit fire particles.

Candles Light level

3
2 πŸ‘ Image

3 πŸ‘ Image
9
4 πŸ‘ Image
12

Candles are not lit when they are placed, and must be lit using flint and steel, fire charge, or any flaming projectile. If any candle is already lit, more candle(s) that may be added (if possible) are also lit. In Bedrock Edition, a mob/player that is burning or any sword enchanted with Fire Aspect can also be used to light candles. Any candle may be waterlogged, but waterlogged candles cannot be lit. Lit candles can be extinguished using water (even a water bottleβ€Œ[Java Edition only]), wind charges, or by the player interacting with the candle.

When the Render Dragon Features for Creators experiment is enabled in Minecraft Preview, the center of all types of lit candles emits colored point lighting with
 #d3852b
. This causes the bottom part of the candle to render a small shadow below it.

Cakes

[edit | edit source]
πŸ‘ Image

A single candle of any color may be used on an uneaten cake, turning it into a candle cake, which acts as a normal, singular candle on top of a cake. If the candle cake is eaten at all or destroyed, the candle is dropped. Interacting with the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it. Interacting with a lit candle cake causes the player to eat it if possible, but if the held item is a flint and steel or fire charge, the appropriate block becomes lit, if possible (otherwise nothing happens).

Lit candled cakes emit the same point lighting as regular candles.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Using the command /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:candle[lit=true,waterlogged=true] allows for a both lit and waterlogged candle. The same thing can be done using the debug stick.
  • If used in an outdated Bedrock Edition world, it has a flat unknown texture and cannot be placed.
